I look at her puzzled, “Where was the reservation?” The why was obvious, but I really really wanted to know where I was missing out on eating, even with my dwindling appetite.
“Little Sicily.” The glee in her voice was just cruel, she knew it was one of my most favourite restaurants. Ever.
“Can we go?” I asked, slightly bouncing in my seat. It was moments like this that I as sure I could channel myself at 4 years old. It’s the only logical reason I could find for my penchant to act like one.
“Nope.” The mirth in her voice was unmistakable. Damn her for sounding like a parent scolding a child. “We’re gonna talk.” Now she sounded like my sister? What, did all my friends and family up and trade bodies while I was away to drive me to the point of insanity.
‘Cause that so would work.
“Please?” I begged. I wasn’t all that hungry, but nothing smells like that restaurant. The garlic and basil, the pizza dough cooking – and one of my most favourite things… the tomato. The sweet seeded vegetable – or was it a fruit – cooked and smelling ohh so fine. I craved the smell, tasting it on the back of my tongue. Eating it with my nose…
“I’ve been away for the last fortnight, and I….” I didn’t get a chance to finish my sentence before Helena butted in.
“And whose bloody fault was that. No one made you go!” I was taken aback by the tone of the voice, she was angry. Beyond angry at me for going away. I had expected this from Alice and Kit, not from her. Helena, historically, has always understood my need to travel… to pick up an take off for parts unknown.
“You never cared before” I stated aloud, even though I didn’t mean too. I had intended to ponder it rather then ask the question of my real life friend. Sometimes the Helena that lived in my head gave me answers I understood much better then the real life Helena. I wonder if that’s because she is in my head.
“Before I was here to say goodbye to you when you left. You have no idea how angry, how hurt I was that you up and left from here within days of telling everyone of your plans. Within hours of calling me.” She had to stop, her voice was catching. The last thing I had intended to do was upset her, but her eyes were filling and her hands was shaking.

Is Bette really immune to the feelings, care and attention that veryone is focusing on her because they ar mightly afraid that she is ill beyond words. And I am too. More than the pneumnia because of the weight loss and loss of appetite. I realize the appetite may just be due to the fact that she has eaten so little in the time she was in Africa that her tummy has shrunk and she has lost the weight for that reason but it is seemingly continuing. Or is that just my imagination? Hopefully she really is ok other than pneumonia. You are writing a fantastic story. Please continue.

Hi, sweet Deean! Of course there are some addictions which are good! Reading your stories is our main one. Hahaha Bette’s obsession with constant traveling, for us is just a way to evade herself from her friends and family. Also, there must be something wrong with her losing weight and her sense of being tired all the time. We know that she gave her food to those kids in Africa, but… we wonder what did she eat or drink over there. We understand that Bette is a tough cookie, loves her freelance job and her passion is photography. At least she listens to Helena, who has been a longtime friend. We are anxious to see Miss Tina in action. PPS Hugs & kisses on both you cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
cant wait for more.I love how passionate Hela and Bela relationship is its so intense and loving.They have an understanding
Bette is in trouble with her best friend. Maybe when Tina comes into her life she will see a Doctor and take better care of her self. Being in love can do crazy things in your life let hope so for all that loves her thanks
The suspense is killing me!
That is such a wonderfully written story. Its great to see how they all care for each other such a great deal – thats the way it should work with real friends. And through all the chapters the little hints that there is just something wrong with bette (I mean with her health – cause I can totally understand her need to travel, to see the world – “to live” how you wrote it so fantastic). And now Helena brings it all down to Bette – hope they find out soon, so that they can help her with whatever it is she needs. And I have to admit that I am total Tibetter – so I`m very happy that you brought Tina into the game – looking forward to how their realionship developes! Please post soon. Thanks. :)
Hello My Beautiful Dee… When someone you love leaves retreats without so much as respecting you enough to tell you in person of course you will be hurt… from they way you describe their relationship Bette and Helena have been through a lot together… they have grown up into the woman they are because of each other and Bette in her way Abandoned the trust and love they share by retreating and ignoring certain pleas… I think that if Bette finds something in Tina that allows her to seek solace in a doctor that her friends and family who she has been possibly lying to will be hurt and feel abandoned… especially Helena… there is something deeper to there relationship not the ‘In Love” kind of love… but the familial kind of love the transcends blood… something unique that the rest even Kit doesn’t’ share with her… and I fear that she will suffer certain loses if she continues down this somewhat selfish path she is taking… I love her strength and vulnerabilities but I feel she is sick or hiding something that is literally eating at her soul in which case is affecting her health… thank you for your kind words my most amazing friend and I can only say I feel the same way in return… hope you are healing and I hope you know that if you ever need me I am here… never hesitate… never fear… love and hugs, Always and Forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick)
Maybe it is going to take Bette getting really sick before she thinks about staying home more. Thanks for the wonderful story. pps
I’m ‘Tibetan’ as well, but i could go 30 chapters just reading the friendships you are developing here. You conjure so much with few words. Love it.
